Lists of the gentes of this people have been recorded by Denig, Maximilian, and Hayden, but in the opinion of the present writer they need revision. _Asiniboin gentes_ _Denig_ _Maximilian_ _Hayden_ We-che-ap-pe-nah, Itschcabinè, Les Wi-ić-ap-i-naḣ, 60 lodges, under gens des filles.

Nord. came from the north in 43, 1806). 1839); 60 lodges, under Le Robe de Vent. The following gentes have not been collated: Of Maximilian’s list, Otopachgnato, les gens du large, possibly a duplication, by mistake, of Watopachnato, les gens de l’age; Tschantoga, les gens des bois; Tanin-tauei, les gens des osayes; Chábin, les gens des montagnes. Of Hayden’s list, Min’-i-shi-nak’-a-to, gens du lac. The correct form in the Yankton dialect of the first name is Witcinyanpina (Wićiɳyaɳpina), girls; of the second, probably Inyantonwan (Iɳyaɳ toɳwaɳ); the third and fourth gentes derive their names from the verb watopa, to paddle a canoe; the fifth is Waziya witcacta (Waziya wićaṡta). Tschan in Tschantoga is the German notation of the Dakota tcan (ćaɳ), tree, wood. Cha in Chábin is the German notation of the Dakota word ḣe, a high ridge of hills, a mountain. In his report to Governor Stevens, from which the following information respecting the Asiniboin is condensed, Denig used the term "band" to denote a gens of the tribe, and "clans" instead of corporations, under which latter term are included the feasting and dancing societies and the orders of doctors, shamans, or theurgists. These bands are distinct and occupy different parts of the country, although they readily combine when required by circumstances, such as scarcity of game or an attack by a large body of the enemy.
